Similar to recent Oregon story where school children had their pretzels coated with oven cleaner instead of salt.
That’s what immediately came to my mind.
I’ve cleaned my own oven and worked in various kitchens, what the hell kind of oven cleaner they using now? And why the fuck is this shit in unlabled bags!?“On the morning of Oct. 26, according to the Health District statement, “a restaurant employee received a granulated degreasing chemical from a contracted worker who was power washing the exterior, and placed it into an unlabeled container.”” …wtf.
Probably Lye Crystals?
Why do we not have such stories in Europe 🤔?
It’s like an Applebee’s but without all the crap.
Spicy margarita’s
The eatery in Forest City was shut down Thursday after the customers, who had ordered the drinks shortly after the restaurant opened for lunch, “immediately experienced discomfort and chemical burns in and around their mouths,” the Foothills Health District said in a statement.
“Two restaurant employees subsequently tasted the substance and reported similar symptoms,” the statement said.
It was reopened the next day after local health inspectors discovered that a worker “preparing the bar for lunch service discovered the unlabeled container and, believing its contents to be sugar, used the chemical to prepare the margarita station.”
Chili’s, according to its menu, offers several margaritas that are made with a “citrus-sugar rimmer” in addition to the traditional salt.
Health District spokesperson Megan Rollins said in an email the investigation was closed and no fines were issued. She said the injured people received medical treatment, but she had no information about their conditions.
And that’s why everything is supposed to be labeled.
How on earth were no fines issued? At the very least, the restaurant deserves a slap on the wrist. People were injured by a careless mistake.
OSHA exists for a reason. SDSs are important.
OSHA was hit by DOGE I thought.
Not to mention the weird thing where it’s not a government agency? I never fully understood that.

I think we’ve come full circle and they’re calls MSDSs again.

Burning feeling after a lunchtime rimmer ar Chili’s. Tale as old as time.
Weird this is suddenly happening out of nowhere after a school just did the same thing.
WTF?!
I’d drink one if it meant a lawsuit big enough to never work again.
if you want permanent damage, to your eosophagus.
